HP is a relatively easy-to-learn yet extremely powerful scripting language. As a free and open-

source language, it is also extremely popular and used on many thousands of Web sites, including

some of the most-visited sites on the Web such as Facebook. PHP pages contain a mixture of HTML

for static elements and PHP for dynamic functionality. PHP code needs to be written within a PHP

delimiter, which simply surrounds the PHP block of code to separate it from the HTML on the page.

You can output code to the browser using the PHP echo statement.
